Yes, long nights & that is my son, I went to Alabama this past weekend and picked up my daughter who graduated with honors from Faulkner University w/a AS in Biology, she is the one who jumped in on the last set of pics to help out. I might need some help w/a part of the engines wiring and will post later in the engine section. Have to run down to Tampa to see a heart/kidney patient.
I have factory rims I'm going to paint up later, I am moving @ the end of the month and wil finish the toucjes after, want to drive it to the next location :)
Thanks again,
Jim
P.S. I have not received the parts/tracking # yet.
Jim, were you at the Scramble this year?? Did I miss you somewhere??
And MC - I was (fairly) sober when we made off with the midget's (Will's) Jeep!!
